BEIJING, April 14,2026: Chinese President Xi Jinping on Tuesday met with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, who is on an official visit to China, in Beijing.
China and Spain should strengthen cooperation to oppose a return of the world to “the law of the jungle,” said Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing on Tuesday.
Noting the world today is in turmoil, confronted with the contest between the rule of law and the rule of power, Xi called on both China and Spain to jointly defend true multilateralism.
Chinese President Xi Jinping on Tuesday stressed the need for China and Spain to strengthen cooperation in fields including trade, new energy and intelligent economy, and to encourage exchanges in culture, education, scientific research and sports.
Noting China and Spain should seize opportunities and seek innovation-driven development, Xi told Sanchez that the two countries should promote their comprehensive strategic partnership to yield more results and bring more benefits to their people.
Spain opposes a “new Cold War,” decoupling and severing of supply chains, and supports Europe and China in enhancing communication, mutual understanding and cooperation, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez said when meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping on Tuesday in Beijing.
Spain highly values China’s status as a major country, said Sanchez, who is on an official visit to China.
